Works for the 4K!

#

I'll be launching a guide for it soon...

#

@rain timber did you jailbreak prior?

#

@analog elk there's several. uicache killall -9 backboardd or ldrestart

analog elk
#

it was the killall -9 backboardd!

#

thx ur a life saver

rain timber
#

@fleet parcel what do you mean

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber the Apple TV that had the unsuccessful update.. is it jailbroken?

rain timber
#

they're both successful

#

they were also both jailbroken, yeah

#

nito is working

fleet parcel
#

yeah, the jailbreak is what makes the updates not work

rain timber
#

i mean it was not in a jailbroken state

#

when i was doing tihs

#

i had rebooted it

#

(tried) restoring RootFS

#

did that about 4 times, rebooted rebooted rebooted

analog elk
#

where is the application image files located so i can change them

rain timber
#

fucking hell that was fun

#

i love when shit works

#

went from chimera'd 12.4 to unc0ver 13.4.5 using a MITM attack to get the OTA.

#

also a fuckin baller 1984 theme?

fleet parcel
#

yup šŸ˜‰

#

@analog elk find / -name Assets.car

storm ridge
#

@rain timber @fleet parcel just checking the board... am I reading things right, is there still a way to go from 12.4 Chimera to 13.4.5 on the 4k? I have 2 more boxes I want to update

fleet parcel
#

yes!

#

@storm ridge I just tested it, I got the OTA prompt

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel wow... how?

fleet parcel
#

You'll need a few things

#

macOS required

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel ok I'm running High Sierra and Xcode with the latest ATV device support extracted from xcode 11.5

fleet parcel
#

Thats fine

#

You'll need Charles

#

and Apple File configurator 2

high bear
#

sounds like a fun project to update from the beta to the normal 13.4.5 feelsthinkingman

storm ridge
fleet parcel
#

Yes @storm ridge

#

need to have those two.. plus 3 other things prior..

storm ridge
#

is there a tutorial, plus I think I trashed the beta profile I had before thinking we were toast

fleet parcel
#

I'm making a tutorial

storm ridge
#

cool

fleet parcel
#

but it'll take time

#

for now, i can run down the basics with you

high bear
#

theres a tutorial on r/jailbreak

fleet parcel
#

Mine's a bit more detailed šŸ˜‰

high bear
#

but yeah id trust josh to wait for his

storm ridge
#

I will probably run it in the morning (12 hours from now), will that be enough time for me to check back?

fleet parcel
#

Sure

#

@high bear that tutorial is the most complex method ever...

storm ridge
#

hopefully Apple does not close the IPSW signing window before tomorrow

fleet parcel
#

doubt it

#

its usually a week or so

high bear
#

wait did your beta profile last week update to the normal release and not the beta? I'm also on 17L562 @fleet parcel

#

Or that's what it says in the about

storm ridge
#

@high bear Earlier in the week I used the beta profile to update a 4k to the stable version 17L562. See my post here.
#tvos-jailbreaks message

rain timber
#

yeah

#

i updated 2

#

my post on reddit as i mentioned was probably not the best, but it's not that hard to follow along i don't think

#

and it's really not that complex... you're literally just telling mesu.apple.com you're looking for 13.4.6 and locally it's getting 13.4.5

#

also I don’t think they are that concerned about signing an ota anyway

high bear
#

yeah i gott the same thing i thought it was a beta the whole time

storm ridge
#

@rain timber In step 4 is it possible to just drag and drop the newly created profile using Configurator instead of Terminal? I've done it that way before for locally saved profiles

rain timber
#

sure, i believe so - i sort of out of habit do stuff in a shell

fleet parcel
#

@high bear the beta updates to 13.4.8

#

@rain timber 'tis okay, I'm making a more extensive tut šŸ˜‰

high bear
#

oh i meant like 3 days ago with the profile @fleet parcel when i OTA'd, I used your profile and it updated to 13.4.5 but I thought it was a beta version of it but apparenty its the normal release? 17L562 is showing

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

i believe its the GM

rain timber
#

damn it now i want to get a ATV4K for my bedroom

#

wonder if it makes a difference

fleet parcel
#

I'm gunna laugh if you get one, only to find out its on the latest and the signing window closes šŸ˜›

high bear
#

hm is there a reason i can't download those CC modules on nitotv? showing no installation candidate

rain timber
#

that's what i am getting too

#

was just about to say the same thing

fleet parcel
#

@high bear SSH in and type apt-get update

high bear
#

still getting it

fleet parcel
#

@high bear display output

high bear
#

i downloaded some repos from r/jailbreak lol

fleet parcel
#

that's why...

#

@high bear what tvOS are you on?

rain timber
#

what is why?

high bear
#

13.4.5

fleet parcel
#

Go into nitoTV > Sources and hold trackpad click on NitoTV Apple TV source

#

Release click until nitoTV prompts you to delete it

#

then go to "Add Repo" and add https://nitosoft.com/checkra1n/

high bear
#

oh that one i didn't change at all but I see why now

fleet parcel
#

šŸ˜‰

#

once changed.. exit nitoTV, kill it from multitasker, then re-enter it

rain timber
#

still nothing?

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber hmm?

rain timber
#

wait

#

something is fucked

high bear
#

working for me now, and i got the new nitotv update i wasnt seeing

rain timber
#

i don't need the electra repo for anything i assume

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber apt-get update

#

show output.. I'll help 'ya out

rain timber
#

i got it

#

just wondering if there is anything on the electra repo worth keeping around

#

or if anything relevant has been mirrored

#

to /checkra1n

#

but looks to have been

fleet parcel
#

Nah

#

electra wouldn't work with checkra1n/u0

rain timber
#

i guess i could just move the 4K into the bedroom for the projector and see how it looks before i buy another

fleet parcel
#

made a guide

analog elk
#

where are the screensaver icons located

#

Or ig where is the folder containing them

fleet parcel
#

prob in /Library

vapid dock
#

@fleet parcel
Sorry for the dumb question,new to all this, but I’m attempting to follow your guide to get my 4K on 13.4.5 and when I click on the (download here) for the XML I get took to another window w just a bunch of text, no option to download that I find. I’ve already downloaded the file from IPSW.me, is this the same thing, if not can ya explain how to download.

storm ridge
#

@vapid dock where is the guide

fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock ah, yes. Alternatively you could use terminal and right-click the link to copy it.. Then just wget (link you copied) -P ~/Desktop

Or cd ~/Desktop curl -O (copied link)

#

As for this "file from ipsw" what file is that? There was no need for such file?

vapid dock
#

@fleet parcel
Ok I’ll try terminal method, I can use terminal some what. Lol.

It’s the tvOS 13.4.5 (17L6562) from IPSW.me. I had it downloaded from couple days ago, where I been trying to install this for couple days. Lol. I noticed in the XML file in your link it has the same #’s as the file I downloaded so wasn’t sure if it was same thing or not.

fleet parcel
#

Ooh ok, yeah the file from ipsw.me isn't needed.

vapid dock
fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock try the other one

#

Make sure to cd first

#

Curl with a capital o

vapid dock
#

Ok yes I have a xml file I’m my desktop. Thank u.

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel I'm following the guide, I am at the section in Charles to expand https://mesu.apple.com and inside are four sections and each of them say "unknown" ??

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge if it says unknown, make sure your apple tv is on Wi-Fi

storm ridge
#

I have three "com_apple_MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate.xml" files there. Looks like all created today. I guess I should select the latest one

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge look for the one that has a globe

#

that's the one that's connected via Wi-Fi to your Apple TV

#

after you've spotted the xml, click the last one

#

I think they're all the same tbh, but I used the last one and it worked

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel success! One more to go. btw, I did not have to Reset all Contents and Settings, that saved me a ton of work setting everything up again

#

can I delete the profile afterwards?

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

@storm ridge although charles might screw with your internet.. (did with me) just remove the Wifi connection and make a new one if that happens

#

but do that after uninstalling it

rain timber
#

just remove the Charles profile....

#

you don’t need it after you hit mesu with the locally mapped xml

#

that will remove the wifi settings you put in place then just set up a new wifi network (or plug in)

#

otherwise you’re still proxying everything through Charles

storm ridge
#

@rain timber thanks to you as well for the generous info

rain timber
#

you’re welcome

fleet parcel
#

the person who discovered the process is following me...

rain timber
#

and you’re welcome too,

fleet parcel
#

lul thx

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel What did Charles program do to your wifi after? I'd like to avoid renaming my connection since I have so many devices already hooked up

fleet parcel
#

I believe it changed the proxy.. So whenever I closed Charles and went on Google (for eg) it just couldn't find the server. I even disconnected/reconnected and no-go until I completely removed the connection and added it back

rain timber
#

you guys know what a proxy is right šŸ˜›

#

the appletv is sending all traffic through the mac you used

fleet parcel
#

yupp

rain timber
#

because of the cert

#

just remove the certificate after. you don’t need it (and frankly not a good idea to leave a cert signed by some 3rd party company you don’t know anyway)

fleet parcel
#

this happened before adding anything though

#

oh well, its fixed

rain timber
#

adding anything what?

fleet parcel
#

certs etc

rain timber
#

the proxy isn’t going to magically take traffic

fleet parcel
#

no, it had nothing to do with the traffic from the device

#

it was charles changing my IP

rain timber
#

you were seeing traffic from your mac

vapid dock
#

Ok so followed all directions, dragged profile into  config2, trusted it, everything went as it should but I get no pop up in Charles after
@fleet parcel
I’ve double checked my IP address and my  box is connected to the WiFi

fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock reboot the Apple TV

#

After installing the profile

#

After the Apple TV reboots, you'll get a pop-up

vapid dock
#

Reboot as use the restart option or unplug from power? I’ve been using the restart option and I’m not getting a pop up.
Also I don’t believe my internet is encrypted, I have a password you have to know to get on it, when I’m doing the WiFi settings in AC2 so I need to input my password or could that mess w it.

fleet parcel
#

Restart your router

#

Did you follow the steps to setting up via WiFi @vapid dock for the cert?

vapid dock
#

Yes. The only thing I wasn’t use about was the encrypted part, so I selected any(personal) and inputted the password that’s required to log into my internet, then saved, installed, trusted and restarted the  tv, I just don’t get any pop up from Charles

#

I inputted my network name, everything’s running on that network, I put in my macbooks IPaddress and 8888 for the port, selected manual, selected any(personal) and inputted the password to log into my internet, in the WiFi settings part of it.

#

Now I rebooted my router

fleet parcel
#

Did you set your SSID?

vapid dock
#

That’s my networks name right? If so then yes

#

Ok this example of my internet
Network name I chose: Netgear
Password I plug in to connect to it: Amanda1234
I used Netgear as the ssid, I put in my macbooks IP 8888 as the port, then under encrypted I selected any personal and inputted the Amanda 1234.
(Name were changed in example obviously)

#

If I got into the profile info it’s showing my networks name as SSID, Hidden: no, Encryption: Match Network Encryption, autojoin: yes, proxy: manual, server: my macbooks IP, and port:8888.

#

@fleet parcel - i updated two apple tv 4k to 13.4.5 without any issue but the last one is stuck on 13.3.1 and is unable to find the update (says it is up to date) when i click on software update... it was jailbroken before so maybe that is the issue.. any idea how i can get the update?

fleet parcel
#

@toxic rose restore rootFS to make updates great again

#

13.3 is fine, you don't need 13.4.5 (especially beta)

#

where you are is a stable version @toxic rose, not missing much

toxic rose
#

that is true

#

also i did restore rootFS

vapid dock
#

Ya if mine was on 13 anything I would b fooling w it. Lol.

fleet parcel
#

As for you @vapid dock did you reboot the router

vapid dock
#

A minute ago, still had no change. I’m going to erase everything, close everything down and start from scratch, I have to work a few hours now so I’ll try again this evening.

#

So after I get the profile installed should I restart the Apple box and my router?

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

What happened with me was; I never got the pop-up either

#

it wasn't until I removed the tvOS 13 beta profile

#

then disconnected ethernet from my 4K

#

@vapid dock

vapid dock
#

So if I don’t get the pop up and I go on in the software update I gets a little respring logo and it starts telling me that it’s gonna be another 10 minutes or so I don’t get any kind of message is this normal

fleet parcel
#

that's just the apple tv downloading the update

#

that's normal

#

just don't install it

#

but you need to see the connection. @vapid dock Did you trust the certificate inside About?

vapid dock
#

Ok. I didn’t know if it was normal so I backed out and quit. Ya I trusted it.

fleet parcel
#

maybe turn off the password to your router

vapid dock
#

Could I b doing the encrypted part wrong in the WiFi settings? If my network required a password is that considered encrypted or should I be leaving that part blank.

fleet parcel
#

(just temporarily)

#

then re-do the cert without a password

#

remove the old one from your ATV, then add the new one and reboot

vapid dock
#

Ok I will try this when I get home this afternoon.

fleet parcel
#

ok

tacit egret
#

hi everybody

#

any new repos ?

#

atv 4k

fleet parcel
#

Hi

#

Kinda..

tacit egret
#

kinda good?

undone vine
#

Trying to re jailbreak my ATV4 using ra1nbox and getting usbmux error, do you know what the meaning of this error? Im on 13.4.5

#

Also tried jb using my mac checkra1n 0.10.2 , it finished the JB but the isnt any JoshTV or other cydia replacement alternative.. what am i doing wrong?

undone vine
#

Manged to jb.. but pressing the Done button does not respring.. I think checkra1n is not suitable for ATV till this bug is fixed..

fleet parcel
#

@undone vine did you respring manually?

undone vine
#

How do i do it manually? There is only restart oprtion in the settings..

fleet parcel
#

@undone vine Use nitoV

#

JoshTV is a repo for nitoTV. NitoTV is the package manager for Apple TV

undone vine
#

@fleet parcel nitoTV icon does not apear.. i guess the first respring is in order for the nitotv to appear?

fleet parcel
#

When you first initiate checkra1n, it'll take a moment or two (even a few minutes) for the Apple TV to launch the checkra1n loader

#

did you see such loader pop-up on your TV @undone vine ?

undone vine
#

@fleet parcel yes it finished the download and asked to te spring using the done button

#

But the done button did not worked..

fleet parcel
#

Okay

#

@undone vine SSH in to your device

undone vine
#

@fleet parcel do you know what is the root/pass fir atv4 ssh? Can i initiate respring using ssh?

fleet parcel
#

alpine is the password

#

that's what you type in when SSHing into your Apple TV via IP address @undone vine

undone vine
#

Is that the commend?: ā€œkillall -9 SpringBoardā€

fleet parcel
#

no

#

uicache

#

that should make nitoTV appear on your homescreen (if its missing)

undone vine
#

Thanks! Will try it

fleet parcel
#

if not... ldrestart to refresh everything

rain timber
#

good god

fleet parcel
#

?

rain timber
#

i just read all that stuff with amanda, restarting the router, download the update etc? you don't need/want it to download the 13.4.6 update, you just need to trigger the connection so the proxy sees the url

#

password etc. doesn't matter either, you're just creating a cert with the wifi info

fleet parcel
#

okay?

rain timber
#

none of that is the problem she's having

fleet parcel
#

then what is the issue?

rain timber
#

she Did Something Wrongā„¢

fleet parcel
#

Well, to determine what was done wrong, running down basic troubleshooting can help in the event of a mistake

rain timber
#

i guess, but that's sort of like saying "shit, you bought the wrong kind of cheese. better make sure the car you drove to the store is okay" - she needs to just go through the steps correctly..configurator is just adding a wifi profile with the credentials and a trust cert for charles, if she has network connectivity (and also she isn't taking 30.5 minutes to do this, because if she does and Charles has timed out, that proxy is dead and she will get 13.4.6)

#

i think also to say "if your network has encryption" -- lay people know the term "if your wifi has a password"

#

is probably unnecessarily confusing to some people

#

also possible to do this using mitmproxy

#

"A rough guide: 1. install mitmproxy 2. configure mitmproxy with transparent mode 3. download 13.4.5 xml, save https://pastebin.com/vNq3Stb4 as tls_passthrough.py, and save https://pastebin.com/2H1eHiX0 as tvos.py 4. run mitmdump --mode transparent --showhost --ssl-insecure --set stream_large_bodies=3m -s tls_passthough.py -s tvos.py 5. in apple TV WiFi setting, modify gateway ip to the one that mitmproxy service is running.

I did it on a linux machine to upgrade my apple TV to 13.4.5." might be easier for some people, you can install mitmproxy through homebrew on a mac

fleet parcel
#

i guess, but that's sort of like saying "shit, you bought the wrong kind of cheese. better make sure the car you drove to the store is okay"
@rain timber No, its like saying "oh, the cheese you bought isn't that good. Is it expired? opened?" but I get your analogy

analog elk
#

Anyone interested in buying my Apple TV 4HD? It’s an excellent condition with the Siri remote and original box and obviously it’s still on 13.4.5

#

I’m listening to offers

#

It would ship from New York City US PS priority

fleet parcel
#

@analog elk why not keep it?

analog elk
#

I know this is sacrilege but I like my Roku ultra

rain timber
#

damn, if that was a 4K I’d be on it and would do local pickup

#

@fleet parcel the connection is the vehicle, the cheese so the file. the persons internet connection wouldnt be the problem, the rotten cheese (certificate) would be.

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber ngl, you're making me hungry

rain timber
#

same

storm ridge
#

@rain timber @fleet parcel I'm following the guide on my second 4k box (currently on 12.4). The first 4k box updated perfectly without a hitch. But on this second one I'm having issues. When I get to the section in Charles to Enable SSL Proxying I notice it is already enabled? I continued on anyway, and when I go to map the local path of the new XML file, it is already showing what I had before. I changed the path just to be sure but in the end I do not get a 13.4.5 install prompt (I get 13.4.6 instead?). So, I started fresh over again on a new network, but this time I do not get a connection prompt in Charles at all after loading the certificate in ATV and rebooting. Is this a cache issue or something?

fleet parcel
#

Looks like you're still connected to the other device..

#

make a whole new cert @storm ridge

storm ridge
#

I did all the steps over

fleet parcel
#

is the other apple tv powered down?

storm ridge
#

Ok let me unplug it... actually I'll take it off the network and save re-jailbreaking

fleet parcel
storm ridge
#

ya, doesn't want to work, it seems Charles is storing cache files. The other strange thing is I caught the ATV actually in the process of downloading 13.4.6 even though I did not accept the install so cancelled it

fleet parcel
#

Ah, @storm ridge try a vm?

storm ridge
#

Also I did not get the connection prompt again from Charles even with my other device off the network.

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge Did you reboot the device after adding the certificate?

#

Also, the device can't be on ethernet, must be WiFi

storm ridge
#

Yes, followed instructions step by step.... I whipped through the first box update no problem. This one is a mystery

#

yes all on wifi. Only other thing I could try is another mac with a new Charles install and see what that does.

#

so vm you mean Mac running on Windows? I don't have that setup, just another mac

fleet parcel
#

No

#

@storm ridge I mean a mac running another mac

#

a fresh install

#

you could also use CleanMyMac to uninstall Charles

storm ridge
#

well I can use another Mac, install Charles fresh on that and try it

fleet parcel
#

then re-install to see if the caches get cleared

rain timber
#

you don’t need to do any of that

#

same cert, all that cert is doing is telling your appletv the wireless network, and security cert to Charles

#

i could put your cert on my apple tv to get on your wireless

fleet parcel
#

i could put your cert on my apple tv to get on your wireless
doubt it

storm ridge
#

hmm, so not sure why it's not seeing 13.4.5 then when my other box worked fine

rain timber
#

I guarantee it. that’s how management works

#

if I am deploying 1000 appletvs I make a mobileconfig profile and dump it to 1000 appletvs

#

the appletv doesn’t give a shit if I own it or you own it

#

restart the appletv a few times? restore rootfs if you can, make sure you have no other certificates installed

#

make sure Charles didn’t time out

#

restart

#

I had issues with mine initially as well (the hd)

storm ridge
#

Is Charles required to give a prompt after the ATV restarts, because mine is not

rain timber
#

if you installed the profile, and you’re on the same network

#

yeah

storm ridge
#

hmm, it does not

rain timber
#

check if there is a way to reset Charles?

fleet parcel
#

The way I reset charles is by doing a complete uninstall

rain timber
#

that would be one way

#

just use appdelete to see where the config files are, or check ~/Library/Caches and the other usual places

#

Library/Application support

storm ridge
#

maybe I just use another mac for now and see if it works

rain timber
#

seems excessive but sure

#

the only step you need to re-create for the second one is copying the .mobileconfig and making sure you set the certificated to trusted

storm ridge
#

by the way I have not done restore rootfs yet, I did not have to do it on my other box until the very end before updating

rain timber
#

the files are all the same, the ONLY THING they are doing is saying ā€œhey, when you request bla.xml from mesu.apple.com, give me the files from the local xml insteadā€ - anything not working in that scenario would be the appletv speaking to Charles correctly, which I think is probably the result of maybe the 13.4.6 being cached locally already

#

do the restore rootfs

fleet parcel
#

restore rootFS would be needed

#

seeing as the jb blocks the update

rain timber
#

unless you tell the jailbreak to allow the update

#

that’s what I had to do

#

which now makes me realize thats probably what is going on.

#

anyway, restore rootfs and try again.

#

I think the restore rootfs function isn’t actually implemented in chimera, which is what caused me some annoyance.. but I tried it a few times and made sure I didn’t have any tweaks blocking updates, and that I checked in nito to allow updates

storm ridge
#

ok I will run restore rootfs but how is it downloading 13.4.6 though which I caught half way thru

rain timber
#

don’t click ā€œupdate laterā€

#

just back out when it asks

#

but if you restore rootfs it shouldn’t matter anyway

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel should I restore rootfs with Disable Auto Updates on or off?

fleet parcel
#

won't matter

rain timber
#

doesn’t matter

fleet parcel
#

restore rootfs restores

#

to re-jb with that on/off matters though

storm ridge
#

I'm using u0 the latest b3 and it's backwards apparently

rain timber
#

you want to be able to update. you just want the appletv to get it’s update information from Charles not apple

#

yeah

fleet parcel
#

it is

rain timber
#

set it to off

#

but that doesn’t matter until after you are instaldc

#

worry about the update to 13.4.5 first

fleet parcel
#

tis a bug, but just restore rootfs and your updates will be free

#

although, i'm still trying to figure out if this is beta.. or offic

rain timber
#

it’s not

#

build numbers are different. also you’re not on the beta update channel if you don’t have the beta update channel profile

#

look at the xml

#

find your device id

#

then you can see what the xml file is telling the server to send, which is the ota .zip of 13.4.5

storm ridge
#

I restored, still have a nito ghost white icon left though

rain timber
#

the file checks which build you are currently on, and then gives you the appropriate delta update

#

that’s fine

#

now start from step whatever, copy your mobileconfig over, trust the cert, make sure Charles is running - you don’t need to configure Charles again, you already did

storm ridge
#

I delete the configs, I'll just follow the steps again now

rain timber
#

except Charles, which is already configured

storm ridge
#

No luck still getting 13.4.6 install, only thing I can try is another mac or wipe the Charles info off of the first mac.

rain timber
#

have you at least tried restarting the mac? are you seeing any connections from the applefv

#

to the Charles instance

storm ridge
#

I back out and when I check again it's downloading, and asks me if I want to cancel but I don't know which version it's doing, I'm thinking it's 13.4.6

rain timber
#

likely

#

cancel that

storm ridge
#

I wonder if apple has redirected the download?

lol I was wondering wtf that is about Charles Proxy only running for 30 minutes... apparently it’s a limitation of the free version

#

just use Fiddler tbh

rain timber
#

sure, there are other options

#

mitmproxy for those more command line oriented

storm ridge
#

So just restarting and now with Charles not running when I go and check ATV updates out of curiosity I just get a spinning wheel that it's searching, no updates or anything, very strange.

fleet parcel
#

@storm ridge checking updates is fine

#

just dont download and install unless it says 13.4.5 šŸ˜›

#

@storm ridge also, use CleanMyMac and uninstall charles

#

then re-install and re-make the cert

vapid dock
#

Well I’ve been at it again for an hour, if I don’t include my internet password in the WiFi setting then my  tv is disconnected from the WiFi and when I attempt to connect it just says I have wrong password. I don’t know y this won’t work, I’m following this tutorial to a T.

fleet parcel
#

which tut?

vapid dock
fleet parcel
#

did you disable wifi password?

vapid dock
#

No I can’t do that.

fleet parcel
#

why not?

vapid dock
#

I don’t know. The guy that hooked up the router put in the network name and password, I don’t know how to access anything about the router.

fleet parcel
#

is your password not on the router?

#

like on a sticker?

frigid moat
#

have you tried putting your router's ip address into a web browser

#

the password's probably admin šŸ˜›

#

look up the manual for your router, grab the default user/pass from that.
log in via web and change the WPA password

vapid dock
#

No I know what my password is, that’s not the issue, I made another config file w the any(personal) and the password and installing that one keeps the  tv on the network.

#

No I haven’t tried that @frigid moat, I can try that. My password shouldn’t be a problem, I’m putting it in right.

fleet parcel
#

Do you have any profiles currently installed on the Apple TV?

vapid dock
#

Nope, made sure it was wiped prior to attempting.

fleet parcel
#

and are you jailbroken?

vapid dock
#

No, this box has never been JB.

fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock try to uninstall Charles entirely. You can use CleanMyMac

#

then just re-install and start fresh

vapid dock
#

Would not being in most up to date version on Mac be an issue.

#

Clean my Mac. Is that in App Store

fleet parcel
#

Yes

#

cleanmymac is

#

but I'm on High Sierra and it worked

#

so macOS doesn't matter

vapid dock
#

Ok. I’m on the last version before Catalina, so I should be good there.

#

So do.i need to trash the certificate and config file I’ve already created as well

fleet parcel
#

I wonder if Catalinas causing issues... šŸ¤”

vapid dock
#

I’m not on Catalina, I’m on Mojave 10.14.6.

fleet parcel
#

ooh

#

didn't read "before" šŸ˜›

#

Yes, trash the config too

vapid dock
#

Ok trashing everything and running clean my Mac.

rain timber
#

the router password is not the issue.

#

ffs don’t use clean my mac

#

those ā€œutilitiesā€ are garbage and cause more shit than they solve

#

if you need to delete a cache, delete the cache. don’t go deleting shit that you have no idea what it is because one application isn’t doing what you think it should when there are other variables at play

#

at quick glance ā€œdeletes caches, LOG FILESā€ why would log files 1.) be a problem 2.) be something you’d want to delete? you’re trying to solve a problem. that’s what logs are for

#

I’d bet the farm you missed a step.

vapid dock
#

Ok so I reset the  tv, trashed everything on the MacBook and started over. I paired tv w Xcode, opened Charles, port was 8888, saved the certificate as .cer, opened AC2, new profile, I did the certificate, under WiFi settings I did SSID, manual, my macs IPaddress, port 8888, any(personal) then my WiFi password and saved config. I dragged and dropped into AC2, installed, truested and restarted AppleTv4k, I now have option for auto beta updates (which never happened before) so something different happened this time. I’m still not getting any pop up or anything.
@fleet parcel

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber ftr: cleanmymac isn't a 'garbage' utility, its actually very comprehensive and user-friendly

vapid dock
#

I’ve literally done this process for hours, followed 2 different tutorials, and triple checked my steps as I did them, I don’t see anything I’m missing.

fleet parcel
#

auto beta updates...

rain timber
#

I cant do this on my phone.just hold on a minute until I get home.i want to check something.

fleet parcel
#

what beta profiles do you have on your atv?

#

@vapid dock

vapid dock
#

None. Only thing on my box besides stock out the box how it comes is the config file I just installed w AC2

fleet parcel
#

is your 4K on wifi? or is it plugged in via ethernet?

vapid dock
#

It’s on WiFi.

fleet parcel
#

ok, the little blue earth icons are your 4K

#

unless you have another device connected via wifi

vapid dock
#

Other devices as in anything? I have lots of cell phones and smart tv connected WiFi, but nothing  tv related besides this 4K.

#

And my MacBook Pro of course.

rain timber
#

and none of that matters, because the proxy only proxies things that you say "go through this proxy"

storm ridge
#

@vapid dock @fleet parcel I found out the Charles prompt to connect to the ATV is handled under Access Control Settings under the Proxy menu. After my initial prompt I could no longer get prompts. I found out by deleting my computer IP address then I would get the prompt again

fleet parcel
#

thats it ^

#

I had to remove my wifi settings, then re-set it back up

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel @rain timber I installed Charles on a new computer and got the prompt... this time reading it carefully haha... anyway I still got the 13.4.6 update 😫

rain timber
#

did you restore rootfs?

#

reboot a few times, etc.

#

that's what i did

storm ridge
#

@rain timber I did yes

fleet parcel
#

What about Reset all contents

storm ridge
#

I think my last option before Apple probably closes the window next week is to reset all contents and settings on the device, set up as new and try that way. I think there might be a partial download of 13.4.6 on it that is interfering

rain timber
#

shouldn't have to, but shouldn't hurt either as long as you're not jailbroken at the time

#

@storm ridge possible. thats why i said dont click "update later" because that downloads the update.

#

just back out

fleet parcel
#

resetting all contents and settings was necessary to update after being jailbroken when you do restore root fs

rain timber
#

so now you've got a cached 13.4.6 that it'll want to install.

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel I really wanted to avoid resetting, this morning my other 4k updated like a charm without all that.

rain timber
#

i dunno, i got good responses from the people that used my tutorial i posted on reddit.

storm ridge
#

@rain timber I can still SSH in, is there a place to locate it and trash it?

rain timber
#

probably

fleet parcel
#

makes no difference to reset an apple tv, there's no user data on it really.. just saved games etc

vapid dock
#

Ok my WiFi on my MacBook says WPA/WOA2personal, that’s an option I’m the WiFi settings on AC2, should I be choosing that instead of any(personal)

rain timber
#

not sure where tvOS keeps updates

#

but yeah like @fleet parcel said, who cares?

#

not like you're going to lose anything really

#

@vapid dock yes

fleet parcel
#

and 13.4.6 was cached for me, but still popped-up with 13.4.5

rain timber
#

what is the model identifier of your AppleTV, have you looked at the xml to see that it's listed? im wondering if there is a chance you are using an ATV that isn't eligible or something

#

or if there isn't an OTA delta available for your specific tvOS version, etc. etc.

vapid dock
#

Ok let me try that then.

storm ridge
#

@rain timber Your tutorial and @fleet parcel is good, I believe it's a cached download of 13.4.6

rain timber
#

(make sure you put the cert in)

#

@storm ridge i mean it's the only variable i can't account for

#

did you see a connection being made in Charles when you click the software update button?

#

basically what would be helpful to know is if the device is even being sent through the proxy

#

because if we know it's not, then we know it's hitting apple's server directly and you're gonna have a bad time

storm ridge
#

@rain timber yes, every time I clicked update I got a new "com_apple_MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate.xml" file

rain timber
#

if you SEE the connection come through, then we start troubleshooting from there, why is the HTTP response not mapping locally

#

so pick one, right click and select "clear others"

#

then right click that one (you should only have one connection there now) and do the local mapping

storm ridge
#

and then I would see one created on it's own without me clicking and that's how I noticed it was downloading something without my input

rain timber
#

right, so i am wondering if the connection is being made before you made the change?

#

did you reboot the AppleTV after you mapped charles to the local file?

storm ridge
#

hmmm, I remember I did that this morning after I made the connect I rebooted first but not on this second one, I should do that

actually scrap this comment... the first ATV I checked for an update it said 13.4.5, I rebooted, ran restore rootFS, then updated

rain timber
#

shit these days connects to whatever thefuck it wants whenever the fuck it wants so i wouldn't be surprised if the atv already had a connection open to the actual apple server xml file before you saved and told it to connect

#

i run OpenWRT/PiHole for my network here, and holy christ, i opened my new 16" MBP and i had (im not exaggerating) 165 hits to various domains as soon as i opened it - all from this computer, before i did anything with it. the reboot is an important step because it's sort of 'virginizing' the outgoing connections, closing anything that is already open

#

i might buy a copy of charles tbh

#

this is pretty sweet

#

actually what was that other one someone mentioned

storm ridge
#

"did you reboot the AppleTV after you mapped charles to the local file?"
So, are you suggesting after I map the file, should I try rebooting a few times then checking for the update?

rain timber
#

basically reboot your appletv every time you click a button.

storm ridge
#

woah, that's a lot of reboots but I could try it

rain timber
#

you need to trigger the connection from the appletv so you can map the local file, then reboot

#

you don't want connections to apple's servers existing prior to you trying to run the update with the locally mapped file

storm ridge
#

assuming I don't have a cached 13.4.6 version on there already

rain timber
#

well again, we're not sure that's the problem

#

@fleet parcel said he had it there and it worked.

fleet parcel
#

yeah

rain timber
#

whether it was a complete download, etc., i dont know

#

but im saying it's possible that if it's there, "why would i go to the internet, i have it at home" - it's how caching servers work

fleet parcel
#

what helps: once the download completes (for 13.4.6) click "Update Software" then the button will turn from "install later" to "Cancel install"

rain timber
#

ok, yeah

#

so i got that before

fleet parcel
#

you'll get another prompt to remove the update

rain timber
#

i noped the fuck out

#

so my inclination is to say it doesn't matter

#

in fact

#

here's why it doesn't matter

#

(i think)

#

let's say you have 13.4.6 cached

#

the appletv is still going to check to see if there is something newer

fleet parcel
#

but technically 13.4.5 isn't newer

rain timber
#

so i think it's going to try to make that connection attempt regardless

#

no, but you're using the XML file for 13.4.5

#

that's the secret sauce of the operation

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel yes I hit Cancel once, but on other instances it just starts on its own

rain timber
#

appletv is coded to say "check for updates" it checks, mesu.apple.com comes back with the xml file that apple puts there saying "hey apple tv, 13.4.6 is current" then it checks from your configurtion which 13.4.6 update to send you.

#

when you map the local XML file that you download, it hits there server, the http RESPONSE comes back, but instead of sending the xml response apple gives, it gives the mapped one to 13.4.5

#

so then appletv says "okay, well, for appletv5,2 with 12.4, i need eorneroin459045v4jn4oin5.zip" and it downloads 13.4.5

#

hence MITM (man in the middle)

fleet parcel
#

this could also work with any other fw, given the right data for an XML

rain timber
#

correct

#

the reason this works, is because apple isn't in a hurry to stop singing OTA frmwares.

fleet parcel
#

prob is.. Apple's gunna encrypt it now

rain timber
#

because you "cant" do anything with them

fleet parcel
#

No, they are, but they have to sign it for a week

#

for saftey

rain timber
#

however, now we see that you can do something with them

storm ridge
#

I just checked IPSW and they are listing my device as upgrading OTA still 16M568

rain timber
#

they're still signing the OTA for 10.2.2.

fleet parcel
#

yeah, 10.2.2 is a safe fallback

#

for those incapable of updating

rain timber
#

may 20th, when was that

fleet parcel
#

I even told KB that 10.2.2 will be signed forever

rain timber
#

I've been working from home for 3 months i don't know what the hell day it is today

fleet parcel
#

^retirement syndrom

#

šŸ˜›

rain timber
#

yeah it's nuts

#

i've gone in like once a week or every couple weeks just to do some stuff that i can't do from home but like damn

fleet parcel
#

Although; if you're on any 13.x firmware, you don't need to update

#

this is mainly if you're on 10 - 12

rain timber
#

I racked 2 GPU nodes last week, and then friday a pipe broke or something above the IDF room they were in and flooded both of those, and 2 ceph nodes. lost aboutttt I dunno, $350,000 worth of compute equipment. 180 x 12TB harddrives flooded (and some melted)

#

didn’t even have a chance to put them into production

fleet parcel
#

I love how societys like: "Ain't nobody got time for that" but now we be like "I'm bored... can we go outside now?"

rain timber
#

hehe

#

i feel like my life has been preparing me for this for years.. i pretty much just go home from working on computers all day to play on computers at home, and walk my dog.

fleet parcel
#

what type of dog?

rain timber
#

American Staffordshire Terrier

fleet parcel
#

guard dog

rain timber
#

hardly

#

he's actually completely blind

#

people have come in and he doesn't even get off the couch

#

"eh, whatever"

#

checking out Fiddler

#

ew

#

this wants me to create an account

fleet parcel
#

what does?

rain timber
#

was hoping it would be a little more straight forward an option for people to try without the timeout in Charles

#

Fiddler

#

eh fuck it

#

can't be bothered - i think charles is better imo

fleet parcel
#

charles is good.. when purchased

storm ridge
#

well tried again, rebooting after every click, deleting extra MobileAsset_SoftwareUpdate.xml files, no change. Charles shows that my XML is locally mapped but it just doesn't seem to want to work.

fleet parcel
#

gotta love the re-initializing after searching for my device šŸ˜›

#

why are you deleting the xml files?

rain timber
#

@storm ridge which device is this again?

#

ATV4K? or HD?

#

(more specifically, do you know your device identifier)

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber 4K

#

he's got 2.. one successfully updated.. the other, nada

rain timber
#

both coming from the same tvOS?

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

two were testers for 12.4 iirc

vapid dock
#

Ok well I give up. I reset the Apple TV, I erased my WiFi settings and logged in again on Mac, I started fresh w new everything, tried the tutorial on reddit this time too, using terminal to install, and still same results. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

#

I’m on 12.1.2, would this be different since I’m not on 12.4? I wouldn’t think so but I don’t know either.

rain timber
#

well lets see

#

that's somethign to go by

fleet parcel
#

i blame gateway

#

šŸ˜›

vapid dock
#

I’m not getting that pop up and I never have gotten it, ever.

rain timber
#

so then what it sounds like

#

well wait

#

but you DO see the traffic from your ATV to the Charles proxy?

vapid dock
#

I don’t know. I have this in Charles right now, and this after installing profile, trusting, restarting  tv, selecting update software and backing out of it

storm ridge
#

@rain timber 4K

rain timber
#

the reason i am asking is, i am trying to establish that your apple tv's traffic is in fact going through the proxy at all.

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel actually I have 4 šŸ¤“ , so 3 out of 4 ain't bad

fleet parcel
#

all 4Ks on 12.4 @storm ridge?

rain timber
#

from that screenshot, i don't see anything indicating that it is really.

fleet parcel
#

*were on

rain timber
#

12.1.2 should work fine, they are still signing the OTA for that

storm ridge
#

@rain timber yes, all my boxes were on Chimera 12.4. But, some originally were on Electra before that and even 10 before that

fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock go to your Network inside System prefs

#

close down charles

#

delete your Wifi connection

#

re-make it

#

restart charles

storm ridge
#

probably one stubborn file in the system

rain timber
#

i'd prefer no wifi at all for the moment

#

plug it in to ethernet, create the wifi profile

vapid dock
#

So erase my whole WiFi

rain timber
#

upload the wifi profile WITH the cert for charles

fleet parcel
#

yea

rain timber
#

that way we know for sure that the mobileconfig profile is installed

#

because otherwise there would be no wifi connection present

storm ridge
#

@fleet parcel all my boxes are now on 13.4.5 except this one last stubborn 4k box on 12.4

rain timber
#

or if you have 2 SSIDs you could use a different SSID.

vapid dock
#

So leave the cert I made in Charles on desktop and create a new WiFi connection?

fleet parcel
#

yes

rain timber
#

create a new wifi connection where?

vapid dock
rain timber
#

jesus h christ

fleet parcel
#

add a new one

devout estuary
#

Anyone know if Romulator is working on 13.4.5? I never installed it on previous versions but it crashes every time I click on it and then the ā€œtweaksā€ section in settings disappears completely until I respring.

vapid dock
#

Ok created new WiFi’s connection

rain timber
#

i'd like to know the rationale behind this approach. do we think she's on a different wifi network or something?

storm ridge
#

gents will take another crack at'r tmr, have a good one

rain timber
#

night

#

the computer is seemingly online with no problem, right?

#

and we have an IP address, and it's working, she has a screenshot of connections

#

the internet on the computer is not the issue here

#

leave that alone.

#

what we need to establish right now is one thing. is. the. ATV. using. the. mac. as. a. proxy.

#

that is currently the only thing we need to establish. we do that by removing any and every certificate/mobileconfig profile/beta profile etc. you have installed on the ATV. You create the .mobileconfig profile by using Apple Configurator 2, putting the .cer that you got from Charles when you exported it, and putting in the correct wifi settings.

#

once you have that, let me know.

vapid dock
#

Yes it connected to WiFi fine and the IP address is the same as it has been.

devout estuary
fleet parcel
#

@devout estuary in unc0ver, turn OFF "Disable Auto Updates"

rain timber
#

what i am wondering is

devout estuary
#

Hold on I have to resign in Xcode.

rain timber
#

you are positive that in Apple Configurator, when you're making the wifi profile, you clicked on certificates

#

and added the .cer you made from Charles?

#

the .mobileconfig you are preparing has 2 things

#

it has a certificate of trust for the connection to charles, and your wifi settings.

#

@devout estuary the toggle is mislabeled - set it to off and re-jailbreak

rain timber
#

see the "Charles-SSL-p...certificate.cer"

#

@fleet parcel "and re-jailbreak"

fleet parcel
#

Thats pretty standard

rain timber
#

changing the toggle doesn't change the current config - if you don't re-jailbreak it will prompt until you redo it

fleet parcel
#

@rain timber I was meaning that re-jailbreaking is pretty standard when using u0's settings

rain timber
#

you have 2 payloads configured, right?

vapid dock
#

Ok I opened Charles, selected proxy,proxy settings, checked that port is 8888, selected ok.
In Charles I select help, SSL Proxying, Save Charles Root Certificate, Save as: 4Kcert, in: Desktop, selected .cer and save, this installed the named cert to my desktop, left Charles running and Opened AC2, selected new profile, select Certificate from left side window, configure, select cert from Charles on my desktop, open, select WiFi from left side window, configure, I enter my networks name just as its spelt in SSID, proxy set to manual, macs IP address and port 8888 inputted, security type and password inputted, file, save, saved as: X.mobileconfig, to:Desktop

fleet parcel
#

your SSID is called P wireless?

rain timber
#

lol whack ssid but w/e

paper grove
#

hello I need help because at the time of putting the user anon will not let me put the password

vapid dock
#

Now I did notice when I remove the last installed profile from my Apple TV (before starting this last attempt) I had to connect back to my WiFi, if this tells ya anything.

rain timber
#

you need to be a hell of a lot more specific bro

#

@vapid dock when you removed it, you lost your wifi network?

vapid dock
#

Yes like on my phone or MacBook or if ya run a scan it comes up P Wireless

rain timber
#

ok

#

so all of that looks/sounds right.

#

now

#

you have x.mobileconfig on your desktop

#

can you do something (my way)

#

open a terminal

vapid dock
#

I will try.

rain timber
#

type cd ~/Desktop

#

then type ls

fleet parcel
#

@paper grove the password will seem invisible

#

this is normal, just type it in as you see it and hit "enter"

rain timber
#

let me know what you see

#

more specifically, if you see x.mobileconfig there

vapid dock
#

Yep

rain timber
#

ok

#

in that same terminal window

#

paste this

#

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

fleet parcel
#

altdeploy

rain timber
#

i have so much useless shit on my atv

#

games i've played once

vapid dock
#

Ok it says

rain timber
#

i should do some spring cleaning

#

great

#

ok

#

now go to your apple tv

#

currently, is it jailbroken?

fleet parcel
#

no

vapid dock
#

No it’s just out the box, stock

rain timber
#

ok

#

go to settings

vapid dock
#

Ok

rain timber
#

Settings > General > Privacy

#

scroll down to "Share Apple TV Analytics"

#

it should be set to off

#

It is

rain timber
#

then press the play/pause button on your remote

vapid dock
#

Ok

rain timber
#

now click "Add Profile"

fleet parcel
#

doing it from url?

rain timber

vapid dock
#

Ready

rain timber
fleet parcel
#

doen't work

#

give me the mobileconfig, i'll upload it to my server

rain timber
#

i want to do it this way because i want to know for a fact that you can see 192.168.50.24 from your appletv.

#

@fleet parcel doesn't work for who?

fleet parcel
#

me

rain timber
#

no shit it doesn't, are you on her network?

#

192.168.50.24 is the IP address of her mac (per the config she created and screenshotted)

fleet parcel
#

wow..

rain timber
#

192.168.xx.xx is local IP subnet

robust token
#

so is 172.16.0.0/12

rain timber
#

@vapid dock anyway, let me know when you've done that

robust token
#

i might have messed up that slash

#

one sec

rain timber
#

sure, so is a lot of things

#

10.x, 172.x, 192.x, etc. etc.

robust token
#

i use 10.0.0.0/16 ips

#

i have subnets

#

that's why /16 and not /24

vapid dock
#

Ok typed it in and hit done and I have the install option now.

rain timber
#

i use 192.168.0.x out of nostalgia

#

you have subnets?

#

every tcp/ip network has subnets

robust token
#

that

#

's not wha ti m eant

rain timber
#

you mean vlans?

robust token
#

i have some vlans

#

yes

rain timber
#

@vapid dock ok - install

vapid dock
#

Ok installed and headed to trust it.

rain timber
#

wait

#

just let me lead don't get ahead of yourself

vapid dock

ok, close out of that, open anything that will indicate you are online

#

netflix w/e

#

i am checking to make sure the wireless network part of your mobileconfig is correct, that you're connected and get online from your appletv.

#

we dont have the luxury of ping and traceroute so we'll make do

#

even anything like signing in to icloud, doesn't matter just making sure you're actually online

#

im sorry if this feels pedantic

rain timber

vapid dock
#

General >about >certificate trust settings

rain timber
#

#

#

then reboot

vapid dock
#

Reboot as in restart in settings or something else

rain timber
#

restart in settings

#

#

or yank the power plug

vapid dock
#

Ok rebooted

rain timber
#

ok go back to General >about >certificate trust settings

#

and make sure it says trusted

vapid dock
#

Ok it does

rain timber
#

great

#

now open Charles

#

if it was open already, quit it and restart it

#

i want the full 30m

vapid dock
#

Ya it tinder out and I had to open again

rain timber
#

tinder later

#

focus on the appletv right now

#

šŸ˜›

vapid dock
#

Damn spellcheck lol

rain timber
#

ok, so Charles is on tinder

#

you have some crap popping up on hte left side

vapid dock
#

I don’t even know what tinder is

rain timber
#

ahh then the joke is lost. tinder is a dating app

vapid dock
#

Ya couple things

rain timber
#

ok

#

now

vapid dock
#

Oh. Lol ya I’d never do a dating app. Lol.

rain timber
#

on the appleTV, go to Settings > System

vapid dock
#

šŸ‘

rain timber
#

scroll down and hit "Software Updates" once

#

after it spins, it'll say 13.4.6 is available

#

just hit the menu button to back out. don't select anything

vapid dock
#

It spun and started downloading, I hit cancel?

rain timber
#

and now in Charles, you should have seen a couple .apple.com urls show up

#

cancel whatever you're doing cancel it

vapid dock
rain timber
#

all we are doing right now is triggering a connection attempt

vapid dock
#

Ok canceled

rain timber
#

what the hell is that

#

back out

#

go to Settings > General > About

vapid dock
#

Ok

rain timber
#

what Model, tvOS version?

#

i want to know why you have "get beta updates"

#

i've never seen that before

vapid dock
#

Model A1842 tvOS 12.1.2

rain timber
#

hm. ok.

#

do you have a developer account?

vapid dock
#

Don’t know, it just started showing up a coupon attempts ago.

rain timber
#

and was this registered as a development ATV?

#

weird

#

absolutely no idea what that's about.

vapid dock
#

I have a free account, I think I registered for something a while back, related to my JB iPhone

rain timber
#

the .xml you're using is the same i linked to in my post on reddit?

vapid dock
#

Same one josh linked to

rain timber
#

i don't know what one that is but hold on

fleet parcel
#

Go to Settings is there a "Developer" tab?

rain timber
#

^

#

well there would be if it's paired through xcode

#

i have a developer tab, but i've never seen "get beta updates" before

fleet parcel
#

nah

rain timber
#

hell, i'd be curious to see what that would do

fleet parcel
#

i'm paired on Xcode and have no dev tab

rain timber
#

dunno, i am and do

fleet parcel
#

its when you sign in with an Apple ID registered to Apple Developer

rain timber
#

ah

fleet parcel
#

Register/enrolled

rain timber
#

that makes sense

#

and my (only) appleid is also a paid developer account

#

well, i guess paid/free wouldnt make a difference

fleet parcel
#

@vapid dock sign out of your Apple ID.. bet the beta updates will disappear

vapid dock
#

Ok so I have to do a terminal command to get that downloaded, I think that’s how I did the one earlier

rain timber
#

the .xml?

#

you can just right click > save as

#

i wish there was a jailbreak tweak to make the AppleTV remote not suck an entire bag of dicks

#

i hate this thing so much

fleet parcel
#

wip

rain timber
#

and the phone app isn't much better

vapid dock
#

Well.o signed out but they didn’t disappear. Your right. I had a different iCloud account on this box and when I reset it I used my regular iCloud and that’s when that better option popped up.

rain timber
#

@fleet parcel rilly??

#

@vapid dock ok - well, let's pretend it doesn't matter right now because it probably doesn't

#

so you've got the xml

#

you've got your AppleTV currently configured via Wifi to send your internet traffic through your Mac

#

you do not have an ethernet cable plugged in

#

you dont have any kind of dns filtering on your network, ie pihole

fleet parcel
#

although her VPN is bugging me...

rain timber
#

you have a regular ass cable modem plugged in to a regular ass wifi router called "P wireless"

#

wait wut

#

VPN?

fleet parcel
#

the VPN shown in her settings

rain timber
#

i fucking swear to god

#

where do you see this

fleet parcel
vapid dock
#

Got file, do not have Ethernet hooked up, yes I have a router that gives me WiFi and that’s all. No I don’t have an VPN.

rain timber
#

oh

#

that's not connected then it's not a concern

#

ok

#

good so now

#

let's go to Charles

vapid dock
#

Ok

rain timber
#

restart your appletv first

#

while it's restarting, restart Charles

#

i want the first packet your AppleTV sends after rebooting to go through Charles.

steep galleon
#

@fleet parcel you said turn off disable auto update

fleet parcel
#

yes

steep galleon
#

Then retail break

fleet parcel
#

yup

steep galleon
#

Rejailbreak

vapid dock
#

Ok both back up

steep galleon
#

Do I turn that back on?

fleet parcel
#

no

rain timber
#

@vapid dock ok good

#

now

#

go back to Settings > System

steep galleon
#

Shouldn’t I want disable auto updates on?

fleet parcel
#

No, its a bug

steep galleon
#

Ohhh

fleet parcel
#

Off means On

steep galleon
#

Lol šŸ˜‚

vapid dock
#

Ok

rain timber
#

it

steep galleon
#

That makes lots of sense

rain timber
#

its like "dont not enable updates"

steep galleon
#

That’s pretty funny

#

Good to know I’ll have to do that upstairs

rain timber
#

@vapid dock once you're there, you're going to press the software update button one time, and then click the menu button to back out of it.

#

this is going to send a request to apple's update server to check for updates

vapid dock
#

Ok done

rain timber
#

which will appear in charles, because all of your internet on the ATV is going through Charles rn

#

ok

#

now

#

at the bottom you can filter

#

.apple.com

vapid dock
#

Ok

rain timber
#

type .apple.com in the filter: box

vapid dock
#

Ok. Done

rain timber
#

what do you see?

#

we're looking for 2 domains

vapid dock
rain timber
#

this might sound silly, but where do you live?

#

not specifically

#

but country

vapid dock
#

Tennessee

rain timber
#

that was specific but ok

#

'merica

fleet parcel
#

good moonshine

vapid dock
#

Ya we have that. For sure.

rain timber
#

i could go for some Angel's Envy

vapid dock
#

Got little in back of fridge.

rain timber
vapid dock
#

Nope

rain timber
#

go back to the appletv and check for the update again

vapid dock
fleet parcel
#

rip

#

nice background šŸ˜‰

vapid dock
#

Lol. All day it’s done this guys. Not shitting ya. I’m about to throw the bitch in the trash. Lol.

#

Thanks.

rain timber
#

or have you at some point

fleet parcel
#

i blame your us isp

vapid dock
#

I see mesu but never the other

rain timber
#

ok

#

gdmf.apple.com is the server that checks for software updates for MDM managed devices.

#

but

vapid dock
#

In previous attempts I’d have the mesu one but the subdolder was labeled ā€œunknownā€.

rain timber
#

add gmdf

#

i don't think you actually need mesu, that request i believe comes over http not https

#

but i want you to hit that update button a few more times

#

update/cancel

vapid dock
#

Ok added and I hit the update /cancel about 10 times

#

The beta updates are gone tho. Lol.

rain timber
#

ok - and in Charles, do you see anything?

#

looking for those 2 domains specifically

vapid dock
#

Nope. Just same 1 from earlier.

rain timber
#

ok with Charles still open

fleet parcel
#

gunna need some of that moonshine after this

rain timber
#

dude seriously

#

im about to start drinkin

fleet parcel
rain timber
#

in fact

#

i /am/ gonna

fleet parcel
#

if push comes to shove and you can't update this way, you'll have 3 options:

Option 1. Jailbreak it on its current firmware

Option 2. Wait for the next semi-untether (most likely tvOS 14)

Option 3. Update to the latest, buy the cables and use Checkra1n

vapid dock
#

I appreciate ya help. My phones dead, I’m frustrated to level that is unexplainable, and my Mac is at 8% battery. I’m just going to put it back in it’s box, maybe I’ll have better luck on iOS 14. If not I can just keep using my HD boxes. I knew they was a reason I kept HD versions for my TV’s. Lol.

fleet parcel
#

plug in your mac, go get yourself some of that moonshine and sleep on it

#

Apples not shutting the window anytime soon

rain timber
#

damn it, i was having fun

fleet parcel
#

If I could, I'd help relax you with a massage (totally simping šŸ˜‰ ) but you do need something relaxing

vapid dock
#

I have all 3 my HD boxes on 13.5, all my phone on 13.5 and watch updated to whatever so having the 4K on 13. something would be nice. I’ll sleep a while, been up for 2 days at this point anyways, maybe try it again tomorrow. I like troubleshooting and getting it but this one has be done in for the night. Lol.

rain timber
#

oof

fleet parcel
#

4K is finicky.. Apples made it that way

#

the HD is as close to a 4K as you're going to get in terms of simplicity

vapid dock
#

Believe me if the kid wasn’t home I’d call a friend to come cover and we’d b in the shine, but the kids here so no fun tonight.

#

Ya I’m totally happy w the HD models. I actually sold my 1st 4K but this one was dirt cheap so I got another one. Lol.

#

Figured I could flip it or keep it to play w

rain timber
#

that's wht im thinking about doing

fleet parcel
#

I bought a 4K not too long ago..

rain timber
#

i'd like to upgrade my HD in the bedroom which is connected to a 120" DLP

#

my 4K is connected to my regular TV in the living room

fleet parcel
#

I'll be jailbreaking tvOS 14 once Apple announces it

rain timber
#

i just don't know if 4K will make that much of a difference

fleet parcel
#

tvOS 14 does if/when 13 is EOL for HD

rain timber
#

i mean picture quality etc

#

so maybe i should get a 4k now

fleet parcel
#

tvOS 13 is laggy on 4/HD

rain timber
#

while i still have a (very likely) chance of getting one that is JBable

#

hm, i guess that answers that

#

ha

nocturne socket
#

why

fleet parcel
#

hi cam

nocturne socket
#

šŸ—æ

fleet parcel
#

piracy?

nocturne socket
#

he

#

yes

rain timber
#

is that what it is?

fleet parcel
#

whom?

nocturne socket
#

@fleet parcel how come they always ask you

fleet parcel
#

ah..

#

i'd love to see that msg šŸ˜‰

nocturne socket
fleet parcel
#

bypassing

rain timber
#

i don't know what that is

fleet parcel
#

piracy

rain timber
#

oh

fleet parcel
#

torrenting on Apple TV

rain timber
#

ahhh

#

someone asked me on reddit but i have no idea what that was so i was asking

fleet parcel
#

Yeah, its no good

rain timber
#

but then i was amused by the fact that my message disappeared so i figured it was an auto-filter

#

so i typed it 3 more times to watch it disappear

fleet parcel
#

its a good way to get your ISP shut down

nocturne socket
rain timber
#

i feel like if you can't figure that shit out yourself you don't deserve it anyway

fleet parcel
#

I feel like whomever made that app should be put in jail

robust token
#

what app

rain timber
#

yeah i dunno

fleet parcel
#

what app
@robust token uhh

robust token
#

i wasn't reading the chat

#

oopsie

fleet parcel
#

the infamous Apple TV app

robust token
#

idk what the app is

#

but ok

fleet parcel
#

that's good

rain timber
#

i feel like there are some instances where it's acceptable to a degree, which is basically cases where something in censored where you live or simply unavailable, and no one is making money on it anyway....but for me it was only ever about convenience. when i was a kid, i was all over napster and whatever...because i could 1.) discover new stuff 2.) have it almost instantly. but now i have spotify, apple music, tidal, netflix, hbomax, attnow, etc. etc. etc.

#

so i just don't see the point of piracy anymore.. i pay 10 bucks a month to listen to whatever i want whenever

fleet parcel
#

I've got a tweak that allows netflix to work with Picture in picture for tvOS 13

rain timber
#

that's interesting

#

probably a bit useless but cool none the less

fleet parcel
#

so you can watch netflix, peek out and check your apps whilst watching
